Abstract

Personal Software Process (PSP) is a method focused on the production of software from an individual perspective of quality. Its benefits in the improvement of the personal process are demonstrated by different researches. However, demanded documentation has stopped its implementations both in academy and industry, even though there are semi-automatic tools that try to solve the problem. This research work presents a tool based on Continuous Integration (CI), allowing to automate part of the PSP process. A preliminary experiment is carried out to validate the contribution in the software process, obtaining favorable results with almost no effort for the developer.
